Hi, i have a 2018 prebuilt pc, i was going through some internal renovations, and i noticed that the only fan i have is right next to the CPU fan and it was an exhaust. I honestly doubt that it makes sense since it's stealing air from the CPU, but since i'm not a great PC builder i assumed i was wrong and wanted to ask for more information, should i put it back as exhaust or reverse it as intake? For information, my PC is MB: ROG GL12CP CPU: i7 8700 GPU: 1050 RAM: 2 x 16 at 2666 PSU: Some chinese but Asus branded 360W

I'm fairly new to building and am wondering if I have a proper fan configuration here. Open to any and all suggestions. I've got two Corsair 140mm intake in the front, an AG620 Deep Cool CPU heatsink, a Phantek 120mm in the rear as intake, and a Corsair MagLev 140mm in the top for exhaust. Please see attached pic. Thanks!

Hi Everyone! So I built my first PC a month ago and I've been enjoying it so far and haven't had any issues with it other than PSU coil wine when I play or do anything on the system that demands a lot of power I guess? Or at least that's what I've been able to diagnose (Corsair HX850 PSU btw, and yes I made sure it was my PSU and not GPU). Just wanted to ask questions about my exhaust fans (3 and 5 - See the Diagram for reference), and more specifically my top mounted 140mm exhaust fans. I've realized that the one near the rear of the case is the one that usually exhausts the hot air out more than the one in front of it, because when I put my hand over both of them the one towards the rear is usually exhausting hotter air. The other one is usually exhausting colder air which tells me that it's not really doing anything, so I've been thinking should just reverse both and have them be intake fans as the GPU hotspot temp usually hits 80 degrees-ish when I'm gaming on maxed everything (with RTX if its stable enough, although its not too much of a concern for me). This would mean the only exhaust fan would be the rear stock fan that came with the Lian Li Lancool 3. YES I AM AWARE that the extra PCIE cables are hanging onto the 24 pin motherboard connector but I don't really feel like cutting them off and you know, it works lol. Thoughts, comments, recommendations would be nice as I'm kind of learning how to optimize my system as I go; this is all a new experience to me, I've also added 4 pics for you guy to look at. Thanks :)

I have 9 fans in this case. 6 corsair 120's on either side of the rad. 3 aorus 140's on the top and rear. Initially I had the 3 aorus all as exhaust. Then one day I decided to stick my hand in there under load. I was amazed at how much heat was being thrown into the case from the rad. I flipped the top two around to throw cool air down on the board and the gpu. Now I'm getting tons more dust and I don't feel like it's really exhausting very well. When both the c/gpu are under load, it does throw a decent amount of heat out the back. The amount inside is insane though. When all three were exhaust, under load there was no fresh air coming in and there was a ton of heat around the gpu and board. In hwmon the temps didn't change that much regardless of the three fans even though you can feel some cool air coming in when under load. The riser is trapping a tremendous amount of heat between the gpu and board. I need to drill some new holes and move my gpu away from the board one more slot. I'd like to go 2 but there's only one more rear i/o slot to go. I already had to drill holes to make it fit to start with. Although it almost is now, it would've been smashed totally against the board had I not drilled the new holes. I'm beginning to think that the aio was a bad decision and that an air cooler would be better so I would have plenty of cool air coming in the front. When I get around to moving the gpu forward I would like to get a small fan mounted in the rear giving it some fresh air or at least one behind it assisting the gpu's heat blowing up. If you stick your fingers in between the gpu and riser it feels really hot and that has to be hurting the board's m.2 heatsink that's really close right behind it. I bought a 2tb 990 pro m.2 that will be in place of the 2tb 970 evo and the 970 will move to the port right below. I would imagine that 990 is going to throw more heat adding to the problem. A side note, those 990's have really dropped in price since 5th gen is starting to pop up. I recommend picking one up. I've included the temps at idle, (almost idle, typing on this page,) and under a 3dmark load. I'm not sure why I'm hitting 90 with a corsair 150 elite cappelix and liquid metal. I don't get near that with game play or streaming. I read you should only have to revisit liquid metal once a year and I've already been back in it to make sure about a month ago. I added some more and closed her up. I'm not sure why hwmon is still reporting a 4070 ti oc when I now have an 80 oc.I did a totally clean install and it's not showing this anywhere else. Aside from getting what little room I can between the gpu and my board, what are your thoughts and best advice here? Any and all ideas will be considered and appreciated. Oh yeah, in case it matters, basic components: Ryzen 9 7950x Corsair h150i capellix elite x670e aorus master PNY 4080 oc

Hi. I have two cases made by Aigo, and I like to see the page published by the manufacturer for each product. However, I noticed the following disparity between both pages (darkFlash Aquarius / darkFlash Water Square 5). This made me wonder: which function is actually better for fans installed atop the PSU cover, intake or exhaust? I currently use both fans as intake inside both cases. I know that the fans aren't possibly pulling a lot of air, but I like having many fans and don't mind at all the extra noise (I can't even sleep without a fan turned on). There are several discussions regarding whether the PSU fan itself should be pointing downwards or upwards, but that's not really my question. I await your opinions.

Hello. I have a NZXT H710 case. My setup now is: - Intake: NZXT 3xAer F120 Case Version, with dust filter in front. - Exhaust: 3x120 Noctua NF-A12x25mm at top (over the radiator NZXT X73) and NZXT 1xAer F140 Case Version in the rear of the case. The NZXT Case version fans, is not PWM, and I want to have PWM fans for better control. I thinking about changing the AER intake fans with Noctua fans, but I don't know if I am going to replace the 3 fans with 2x140mm or 3x120mm. Would I get better cooling if I am going for 2x140mm (Noctua NF-A14 PWM) or would it be better to go with 3xNF-A12x25? In the "bottom" of the case I have 2x3,5 HDD and the PSU, so the fan at det bottom is cooling the HDD.

This is my current setup I recently got a 5 pack of fans, but here’s my issue I can’t seem to install the fans (as intake) on the front of the case, because there’s no supported mesh or place to do so. So I was wondering what I should do with my case fans considering that I can’t setup any intake fans on the front of the case Should I install another exhaust at the top? Should I install an intake at the top? Can I install both exhaust and intake at the top?

I've a masterbox q300l case, initially I installed 3 corsair AF120 fans (2 front intakes and 1 rear exhaust). I'm running a R5 2600 OC to 3.6Ghz all cores base and RX580 OC 1450Mhz. The ambient temp where I live is around 30 - 36 C, so I decided to get some extra fans. Right now i have the original 3 AF120s and I added 2 120 sickleflow (top exhaust) and the stock 120mm fan cooler master that came with the case as a bottom intake. My cpu runs under 70C with Cinebech and Furmark @1080p finishes at around 72C. I'm not sure is this set up is an overkill or if the position of my fans made my case a vacuum cleaner and I will get a lot of dust inside but I did noticed that my system runs quieter under load. So, should I reduce the amount of fans or change the intake/exhaust setup?

Hey guys, I have a 2-in-1 question, so first up let me ask this: What are your opinions on Corsair iCue ML140 RGB Elite fans, especially for radiator use? I can't seem to find that many reviews of them. I was thinking of replacing stock fans on my H115i RGB Plat, but then again, those stock fans are ML140 Pro's so is it even worth it? Reading into tech specs it would seem that Elite's have a little less airflow max. airflow - ~83CFM vs Pro's 97CFM - whilst being quieter - 32 vs 37dB - and slower - 1600 vs 2000RPM. I don't really see any difference between blade designs, apart from AirGuide technology which supposedly "increases static pressure and concentrates airflow". Can anyone confirm or link me a review or something? Just curious. So now for the second part of this question: I'm switching from Enthoo Pro M to Eclipse P500A. My current cooling setup is H115i with stock fans as intake (Balanced performace mode) at the front with triple ML140 Pro's as exhaust (2 top 1 back, locked at ~1000RPM). Current temps on mild OC in Enthoo Pro M are as follows: CPU (3700X) 32' idle, 59' load, GPU (5700XT Nitro+) ~55' idle, 71' load. The GPU however, is mounted vertically on Phateks' own bracket, around ~3 inches from side glass panel. I'm planning on putting all three ML140 Pro's as intakes locked at low RPM, since P500A front panel's logic is basically unlimited airflow, with H115i acting as top exhaust. My question is simple - is that enough exhaust or should I buy another ML140 Pro (love those fans) and mount it at the back for better cooling? Oh, and the GPU will still be mounted vertically, but using P500A's own mounting system, so much closer to side panel. Dunno if that's important with that intake potential. TL;DR: 1. Any non-review based opinions on Corsair ML140 RGB Elite fans for radiator use, especially as exhaust? 2. Is exhaust through 280mm AiO acceptable w/ triple ML140 Pro intake fans or should I add another 140mm exhaust fan at the back?

So I just set up an arctic freezer ii 240 in the top of the front of my case that is the silverstone rl06 redline. The front had 3 fans that I changed to to arctic p12 argb fans, and then also put 2 more fans on the other side of the radiator for a push pull configuration. So now I have 5 intake fans in total in the front of the case. I also changed the rear fan for the same type of fan. my question is then, is the 1 rear exhaust fan enough when I have that many intake fans? Or does it not matter when it is liquid cooling on the cpu anyway? Or should I have 1 more exhaust fan in the top rear side of the case? Thanks for any advice

I'm looking for some advise. I am replacing the stock 92mm exhaust fan on my pc case. I'm trying to decide which would be best. I'm looking at either the Noctua NF-A9 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (92mm, Black) which has 7 blades Or the Noctua NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Slim Fan, 4-Pin (92x14mm, Black) which has 9 blades. The pc case in putting it in is an Asus Rog Strix G15-CF. I'm not sure if the blade count will help with exhaust to remove increase air for in this case since they seem to be identified fans other than the blade count. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I'm building a game pc and need help with the airflow in the case. I don't know how to place the fans and when to use them as intake and when to use them as exhaust. I have 4 case fans and 1 fan from the kraken x41. My build: CPU: intel core i5 7600K CPU cooler: nzxt kraken x41 Motherboard: asus ROG strix Z270F RAM: corsair vengeance lpx 8GB 3200MHz (twice) SSD: Samsung 960 eco 500GB HDD: wd 2TB 7200rpm GPU: asus ROG strix 1060 OC 6GB PSU: corsair rm650x Case: nzxt H440 RAZER edition thanks!

I'm pretty new with building PCs I just wanted to know if it's better to have 2 intakes (front and rear) with 1 exhaust (top) or front and side intake with rear exhaust? or if anybody has a better fan setup suggestions; maybe 2 exhaust and 1 intake? idk. I'd be happy to try it out. Thanks
-
I have watched a video that someone suggested to me to see the consequences of more intake fans or more exhaust fans. But it hasnt really answered my questions. I have a 120mm intake fan in the front, 1 exhaust fan in the back and one on the top. Is there anything else that can happen except for more dust, which isnt a huge problem, since my case came with dust meshes everywhere.
-
I need to decide on a fan layout with my case. Of the two pictures what would be best? front and rear intake and water cooler exhaust? or like in the other picture with only one exhaust? I also have a gtx 1080 in the case One more question. Does it matter if the fans are push or pull? pull would be easier to clean but I feel push would be more efficient. Thanks.

So I have a ds cube and recently bought a 1080. I'm buying an aio cooler either; ARCTIC Liquid Freezer 240 - £70 (comes with 4 fans and fits my case) Corsair H100i V2 - £95 (has the fan control usb software) Thermaltake water 3.0 RGB riing 240 - £105 (reviews say it's quieter than the corsair, has a physical fan controller rather than software) Anyone have experience with these? particularly with a ds cube case? My next question is whether to have the cooler set up to suck hot air out the top of the case and have the front and rear case fans pointing inwards or have it pushing air into the case to maintain positive pressure? air in means the 1080 gets hotter but maintains positive pressure in the case (it gets very dusty)

Hi! So last month I slammed a M58p on a PS3 super slim case, it was been working wonderfully, only one problem... The fan. The fan installed is a laptop fan through USB, since the laptop fan requires 5V at full load, and the USB throws 5V it makes a WHOOOoooo sound. Adding that I cannot connect the Line In to my big TV makes it even worst (Using Integrated speaker) since I barely hear it clearly because of the fan. Sooo I wanted to know Which method is better of air cooling. Intake or Exhaust. For a few days I have been using exhaust and it does no longer shuts down now, but it still gets quite warm. I would love to see which one is better for this mini EmuStation (ES) I have. I am planning to get a small PC fan (2 pin, 3 pin or 4 pin) that fits so I can install it. Thanks in advance. NOTE: There are no fans if I remove the laptop fan, only heatsink. Right now the ES has a Pentium G3258 Copper heatsink (Without intel fan) glued tightly with B7000.

Hi everyone. I have an inwin 805 infinity build. My cpu is water cooled with a corsair h115i on the intake of the case. It technically not blocking the intake, but it's close to the intake, so it's practivally the intake. On the actual spot where the intake is, case additionally 2 fans be placed, but I cannot because I have my 3.5"hard drive bay placed there, it's on the bottom of the case on the front. You can see it on images. Now My CPU temperatures are great, but I also have a GTX 1080 in it, and that one runs hot. I manually changed the fan curve, but still the GPU can reach up to 79 degrees celcius. So when I upgrade my gpu when the next lineup of nvidia GPu's release, I plan on getting a hybrid water cooled one. However my exhaust is a single fan. (+ the psu). So I will cover that single fan with the radiator of the gpu. How do you think this will affect temperatures of my pc? Is this a bad idea? Or will I benefit from it? Also I will most likely again change the fan curve of the fan of the GPU radiator, so that it still turns even when gpu is not in use, so that it still act's as exhaust. Any thoughts? Or perhaps other suggestions to lower GPU temperatures in that case? Thanks in advance EDIT: for the interested ones, this is my build:

Hey guys, the question is basically this, I own a Corsair Carbide 400C and I'm planning on getting some fans, will 3x120mm front intakes and 1x120mm rear exhaust be ok, or enough at least to keep not only dust off, but the system as cool as possible? Is there any chance that getting 3 front intake fans v 1 exhaust fan will create some issues? Like not enough air getting out of the case fast?
-
Hey guys, I have one question. I have a really ban case that restricts airflow. Since it had 2 mounts for fans (one intake one exhaust) I wonder what fans should I buy. Since there is a huge rack for HDDs in front of the case I decided to go with static pressure fan (120mm) but I'm not sure if I should put my exhaust fan a static fan as well or should I put airflow fan? Also is it worth for me to buy this small upgrade for a shitty case (it has few low rpm static pressure fans) or is it better to just buy a better case like Fractal design Focus G and upgrade fans on it latter? I only have enough money for one or another.

I did a stupid mistake and installed my cpu cooler (arctic freezer i11) the wrong way. so instead of reinstalling it I decided that I will turn the rear exhust fan into an intake (so the cpu fan gets fresh air from outside). temps have dropped a little. now my current situation is: front and rear (both 120mm fans) are intake top (2x120 mm fans) is exhust. my question is: is it good in terms of pressure? or should I just turn the rear back to exhaust and just reinstall the cooler in the proper direction?
-
Let me explain myself. I am going to build myself a new gaming PC and have every part picked out. However I am just trying to make sure before ordering the parts that my systems airflow is optimized as much as possible. From what I understand neutral airflow is the goal, but positive airflow is preferred over negative. I decided to go with a CPU fan air cooler instead of an AIO liquid cooler. My question is do I have to factor in my CPU cooler with my exhaust fans when calculating my intake to exhaust ratio or does it not really impact anything? Thank you!
-
Hi guys, I want to ask You if this setup which I created is as good as I think it is. Does the air flows right or it creates a dead area in front of the CPU heatsink? And is it better if the top intake is a SP fan to cool the ram or better to put AF in there? Blues are or intake, reds for exhaust.
